Cherry blossom (Sakura)

Cherry blossoms, known as sakura in Japan, are delicate pink or white flowers that bloom on cherry trees each spring. They symbolize renewal, beauty, and fleeting moments, as their brief blooming period lasts only a week or two. These blossoms create picturesque landscapes and are celebrated through festivals and hanami (flower viewing) gatherings, fostering appreciation of nature's transient beauty. Sakura trees thrive in temperate zones, and their stunning blooms have cultural significance worldwide, especially in Japan, where they embody renewal, hope, and the impermanence of life.
